It was no Robert Lewandowski, no problem for Bayern Munich last weekend, and Hansi Flick's side is looking to stay on course for the Bundesliga title at home to Union Berlin on Saturday. Read our reasons for Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin prediction and betting tips.
Even with top scorer, Lewandowski sidelined, Bayern took care of business at RB Leipzig to move seven points clear atop the Bundesliga table last Saturday. The winner - courtesy of Leon Goretzka's second-half strike - has Bayern on course for a record-extending ninth straight league title, with Hansi Flick's side in the seemingly unstoppable form once again as we head into the final stretch. It was Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting who took Lewandowski's place to lead the Bayern attack at the Red Bull Arena and his place looks secure for now with Serge Gnabry ruled out.
Goretzka has a muscular injury and joins Alphonso Davies, Corentin Tolisso, and Douglas Costa on the sidelines here, though. Javi Martinez could play at center-back to free up David Alaba to play in central midfield in Goretzka's stead. Flick was perhaps unlikely to make many changes from the side which beat Leipzig, even before his hand was forced, though. Bayern has won each of their past five Bundesliga matches, scoring 17 times in the process at an average of 3.4 goals a game. Flick's side is still unbeaten in all competitions at the Allianz Arena this term (P18, W15, D3).
Bayern: Neuer (c) - Pavard, Martinez, Boateng, Hernandez - Kimmich, Alaba - Sane, Müller, Coman - Choupo-Moting
Out: Costa (metatarsal), Davies (suspended), Gnabry (not included), Goretzka (thigh), Lewandowski (knee), Süle (thigh), Tolisso (thigh)
Doubtful: Hoffmann (knee)
Coach: Hansi Flick
While the title chase may be drawing to a close, Union is in the middle of a fierce battle for European qualification. Die Eisernen secured a 1-1 draw with Berlin city rivals Hertha last time out, which leaves them seventh in the table, level on 39 points alongside VfB Stuttgart and Borussia Mönchengladbach in eighth and ninth respectively. There's a four-point gap ahead of Union to Bayer Leverkusen, who currently sit in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualification spot. It means that the capital club will be motivated to face a Bayern side that they held to a point in their meeting earlier this season.
With Taiwo Awoniyi, Sheraldo Becker, and Anthony Ujah all still sidelined, Petar Musa should continue in attack alongside Max Kruse. Urs Fischer could be inclined to return to a four-man defense away to Bayern - he used the same system in holding them to a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture - with Nico Schlotterbeck the most likely to make way. Manuel Neuer (432) and Christian Genter (423) are the two highest Bundesliga appearance makers in the league. Gentner has lost 20 of his 25 Bundesliga games against Bayern, with only Richard Golz (21) suffering more defeats against the record champions.
Union: Luthe - Trimmel (c), Friedrich, Knoche, Ryerson - Gentner, Andrich, Prömel - Ingvartsen, Kruse - Musa
Out: Awoniyi (thigh), Becker (ankle), Dajaku (foot), Ujah (knee)
Doubtful: Gießelmann (shoulder), Schlotterbeck (cold)
Coach: Urs Fischer

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
